In this book, McMahon argues that a reading of Kant's body of work
in the light of a pragmatist theory of meaning and language (which
arguably is a Kantian legacy) leads one to put community reception
ahead of individual reception in the order of aesthetic relations.
A core premise of the book is that neo-pragmatism draws attention
to an otherwise overlooked aspect of Kant's "Critique of Aesthetic
Judgment," and this is the conception of community which it sets
forth. While offering an interpretation of Kant's aesthetic theory,
the book focuses on the implications of Kant's third critique for
contemporary art. McMahon draws upon Kant and his legacy in
pragmatist theories of meaning and language to argue that aesthetic
judgment is a version of moral judgment: a way to cultivate
attitudes conducive to community, which plays a pivotal role in the
evolution of language, meaning, and knowledge.
